Mate/Date Game-Names

The most commonly reported game-names suggest mating/dating games. We understand that part of WolfQuest's game mission is to find a mate and then raise pups. However, our players include children, so sexually-oriented/mating/dating gameplay is never allowed in WolfQuest multiplayer games.

The word “mate” and “mating” and a myriad of other words are automatically blocked when you make a game-name. This should be a signal that creative spellings or substitutions of these words in game names are also unacceptable.

Keep in mind, game-name reports are only about the game-name and not about in-game behavior or chat. We understand that it might not be a player's intention to invite dating/mating roleplay when they set up a game called, for example, FindYourPartner or WolfLovers. However, we have had to prohibit these types of game-names––and every variation––in order to keep a lid on this sort of behavior.

To clarify what this rule means, we think that most players understand the difference between having a mate and the act of mating — but that distinction may get blurry in the process of obtaining a mate. That can easily turn into dating-type interactions, which can then develop into into mating-type interactions. This is what we don't want to see in multiplayer games.

So:

It's okay to say, "will you be my mate?" and then RPing with that wolf partnership in mind.

It's not okay to start chatting/interacting in ways that suggest physical interactions of dating/mating.

Using the words/phrases such as "mate” or "date" or “romance” or “love” or “partner” or "match” or "find the one" or similar in game-names suggests that the host wants to engage in those kinds of prohibited chats/interactions. Keep in mind, creative spelling might fool the word filters but not the humans.

Still not sure what types of game-names are not allowed?
